How can the library help?

Students and researchers at BI can get help from the library in various aspects of the process of conducting a systematic review: 

 

Students:

We can:

  • help you with the search strategy for your specific project and suggest databases to search
  • Advise you on how to use Zotero to collect and organize the literature and to identify duplicates
  • Provide the literature where this is not openly available or covered by our subscriptions

 

Faculty:

The library has formed a team of librarians specializing in this service. See our page on Intra to learn how we can assist you in your work with systematic reviews.
